I'm not worried at all about my pitching. Closers mean nothing in this league. IP is really, really valuable. 1.2 for every IP. I drafted guy who are inning eaters.

The scoring in this league isn't normal. By default rankings, A-rod was rated 7th overall in CBS with our settings. It favors pitching. Starting pitching. Weekly changes, not daily. It's a weird league with weird settings, but my pitching is solid based of the IP projections.

i like how u took decent guys for your infield and absolutly stacked your OF and util. that should pay dividends. you can definitly use a 1 or 2 starter tho. with your stacked OF and lots of speed i think u shud try packaging gathright and an overrated pitcher like garland for a solid 2. maybe try for beckett or some1 like that

wow I missed that, thats a little odd, but with those settings your team should do very well

Looks like you certainly did your homework and took advantage of the scoring system. My only issue with the team--and it's a small one cause the team looks very well put together--is that there might be someone more valuable than Gathright on the wire. Lets say he gets 400 AB's (which I don't see with the crowded outfield they have and Delmon ready to step up). So, he gets his 400, which means about 110 hits, and only about 20 of them are extra bases with no HR's. He strikes out 2-3 times more than he walks and while he steals alot he has NOTHING for power, meaning the SB's dont even come close to offsetting the fact he won't get you RBI, HR's, etc.

As I said it's a small gripe, and he's a bench guy so you're taking a flyer. But I'd rather have someone with power potential, there are enough intriguing guys buried on the wire (even in a 16-team league) who could give you more points. Just remember that his 35 SB's (if that's what he would get you in about 400 AB's) is worth about 13 HR's, then add in RBI he's not getting you, and far more K's than BB, and I think he's next to worthless in this format.
